<\/a>Fan\/Dresden Template Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n First, I went looking for templates. I didn’t have a heart shaped die for the Accuquilt, so I looked for fan or Dresden Plate rotary templates. I knew I had some and thought those would work.<\/p>\n
I had a few different ones and tried the rounded Dresden petal template first. the first one I made turned out ok. I needed to reinforce the stitching in several places and I didn’t like cutting around the rounded bottom (thinner end) of the template.<\/p>\n
Despite my annoyance, any of the above templates, as well as the Accuquilt heart shaped die (not really covered in this tutorial) will do.<\/p>\n
Directions<\/span>:<\/p>\n
Cut<\/strong><\/p>\n
![\"Cut](\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PICT5112sm-300x166.jpg\")
<\/a>Cut Fabrics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n - \n
- 4 pieces of fabric from your template (this tutorial does not cover the modifications needs if you are using the Accuquilt Heart shaped die)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>Pin Interfacing to Fabric<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n - \n

Note<\/strong><\/p>\n
![\"Mark](\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PICT5117sm-172x300.jpg\")
<\/a>Mark notches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n - \n
- Make notches or markings where you want the top fold to be – about 1-5\/8″down from the top. 1″ works well for some fabric looks.<\/li>\n
- Pin the interfacing, if it is not fusible, to keep in in place while you sew until after you turn it. ShapeFlex<\/a> will work if you have some.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Sew<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Put two main parts together (4 Dresden fan pieces that you have sewn and turned)<\/li>\n

<\/a>Scissor Sheath, finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n
Now I am thinking of sets of Pincushions, needlecases and scissor sheaths. Watch out world! \ud83d\ude09 However, these are kind of a pain to make, so I don’t know how many I will make.<\/p>\n
You could add a tab with some hardware so you can attach it to your quilt club lanyard.<\/p>\n

I have a weird image of myself wearing a lanyard to a guild meeting with a lot of tools, at my fingertips and never lost under fabric or pattern pieces, hanging off of it.
